A recent patent reveals that Nokia has patented a technology called USER INTERFACE, DEVICE AND METHOD FOR A PHYSICALLY FLEXIBLE DEVICE.

This patent might be a sign that a technological breakthrough has been achieved. This is how the technology has been described : “A user interface including a flexible display configured to display graphical objects and a controller configured to detect a first bend and determine a resulting first foldline, determine a graphical object being intersected by the first foldline and execute a function associated with the graphical object.”

This means Nokia has invented something similar to motion recognition. The flexible device would also require flexible parts such as a flexible screen, battery etc. Flexible screens are already available but even then it is unsure when we can see such a device. Nokia had hinted at such tech by 2015 in phones.
